“Luxor” Leaves You Wanting Just A Little Bit More

hollywoodnews.com:

Pretentious is never a word you want associated with your film. It has a connotation that just never serves your project well, in the least.

Unfortunately, Luxor, despite some strong visuals and a nice central performance, can’t help but give off that vibe. It’s palpable throughout a picture that wants to be hypnotic, but instead mostly winds up being frustrating.

Now, that doesn’t make this a bad movie, but it’s one that’s too hit or miss, at least for me, to recommend. I’m in the minority when it comes to this flick, so keep that in mind, but when it opens this week, I’ll be one of the few not quite able to sing its praises… The movie is a drama, mixed with a little romance.
